VMware on IBM CloudIBM and VMware Partnership

A global partnership that enables customers to accelerate enterprise hybrid cloud adoption by extending their existing workloads as they are from on-premises data centers to IBM Cloud.

IBM Cloud provides customers the ability to more easily and quickly move VMware workloads to the cloud through a common platform for management, networking, and security.

Key components:

- IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

- VMware vSphere, NSX and VSAN

- Automated deployment and lifecycle management

Key benefits:

- Flexible consumption model (OpEx spend, month-to-month rental)

- Single-tenant environment

- Optimized and validated cloud platform design

- Global footprint of nearly 50 data centers worldwide with an interconnected network infrastructure

IBM UrbanCode for Application Release Automation

Drive down costReduce amount of manual labor, resource wait-time, and rework by eliminating errors & providing self-service environments

Speed time to marketIncrease frequency of software delivery through automated, repeatable deployment processes across development, test and production

Reduce riskRobust configuration management, coordinated release processes, audits, and traceability

Enabling clients to continuously deliver applications with high quality and low risk

IBM UrbanCode Build is a continuous integration and build management server optimized for the enterprise, designed to make it easy to scale the configuration and management of build infrastructure and seamlessly plug in to development, testing and release tooling.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy enables hybrid cloud by automating the deployment of applications, databases, configurations and containers into development, test and production on prem or in the cloud, helping to drive down cost, speed time to market with reduced risk. With full-stack environment management and deployment automation, users to design, deploy and update full-stack environments for multiple clouds, including Bluemix, Softlayer, AWS, Azure, and virtualized environments.

IBM UrbanCode Release is an intelligent collaboration release management solution that replaces error-prone manual spreadsheets and streamlines release activities for application and infrastructure changes.

VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) and UrbanCode Deploy• UrbanCode Deploy Blueprint Designer

integration with vRA– Design Heat blueprints that include:

• vCenter infrastructure (vSphere machines, network profiles)

• vRA software components• UCD software components

– Heat blueprints are converted into vRA blueprints• Published to vRA catalog• Deployment requested via Heat extensions• vRA-managed vCenter infrastructure provisioning• UCD-managed application deployment

Hybrid Cloud Deployments through a Single Point of Control

Manage application deployment across dev, test, and production spanning multiple clouds

Key Points:• Enable full stack deployments (OS,

patterns and applications) across hybrid cloud applications

• Establish common DevOps pipelines with plug points to support continuous delivery
